I have taken prescription strength Ibuprofen occassionally, but only for a short amount of time.  I also would take an antacid/stomach med while taking it to buffer the effects on the pouch.  I have had extreme arthritis pain, and also have had ulcers.  It's a crap shoot. 

Be sure to drink tons of water while going through this time.  Also, watch your salt intake.
